<br />

<br />
==Style==<br />
Santhanagopalan's style is distinguished by his adherence to strict raga interpretation, especially in his rigorous manodharma (creative interpretation) and raga sancharams (bringing out the essential elements or qualities of a raga). His conformity and respect for the traditional approach to carnatic vocal music is often reflected by the orthodox nature of his concert attire (the panchagacham and namam).<br />
<br />
Santhanagopalan has been acknowledged for his emphasis on purity of nada and tone, and his restrained and measured grasp of kritis is regarded well with the Carnatic musical fraternity. Being a thinking man's musician, his cerebral, methodical approach to raga delineation reflects his own growth in music.<br />
<br />
He is a regular and sought-after performer during the December and January Madras "Music Season", and his concerts have consistently sold out in such prestigious venues as [[Madras Music Academy]], Krishna Gana Sabha, Mylapore Fine Arts, and Narada Gana Sabha. He is also a Grade 'A Top' artist with [[All India Radio]] and [[Doordarshan]].<br />
<br />
==Awards==<br />
Santhanagopalan is a recipient of the Vani Kala Sudhakara of the Sri Thyaga Brahma Gana Sabha. He has also received awards and felicitations from Bharat Kalachar, Kartik Fine Arts and the [[Maharajapuram Viswanatha Iyer]] Foundation. He received the title "Vidhya Tapasvi" by TAPAS Cultural Foundation in 2008 and was awarded the Sangeet Natak Akademi Award in 2014.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.sangeetnatak.gov.in/files2015-16/Press%20Release%20SNA%20Awards%20for%20the%20year%202014%20-%20English.pdf|title=Declaration of Sangeet Natak Akademi Fellowships (Akademi Ratna) and Akademi Awards (Akademi Puraskar) for the Year 2014|publisher=sangeetnatak.gov.in|access-date=13 June 2015|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150614110227/http://www.sangeetnatak.gov.in/files2015-16/Press%20Release%20SNA%20Awards%20for%20the%20year%202014%20-%20English.pdf|archive-date=14 June 2015|df=dmy-all}}</ref><br />
